Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2007

"All right, I'll remember that."

When Rachel Wood and Georgie Clementine overheard the family's conversation, they were deeply envious that Xyla Quest had such a great mother-in-law in Sharon Lindt. Meanwhile, Annabeth Cates felt glad and lucky to be a part of their family.

Sharon then turned to look at Josh Batton. "Same goes for you. If you ever treat Annabeth poorly, you're dead."

Josh pinched his forehead helplessly before enveloping his wife in a gentle hug. "Don't worry, I'd never do that."

"You wouldn't dare," Wilson Batton stated.

"Yes, that's right. I wouldn't dare," he replied.

"I finally know why the Batton family has generations of men who love their wives to bits and pieces. It's the strict teaching at home and threat of death," Henry Armstrong said. Everyone laughed.

Once they sobered, Sharon gently rubbed Xyla's stomach again. "Darling, does your stomach still hurt?"

"It's better now," Xyla answered.

"Let me know if you feel uncomfortable, okay?" Sharon asked.

"I will. Thank you, Mom."

"Silly girl. It's my job," Sharon reminded her shortly before thoughts of her brand new grandchildren popped up.

She immediately turned to look at Stanley. "Can we go and look at our grandchildren now?"

"You finally remembered that you have grandchildren now," Sebastian said.

She chuckled. "I was only thinking about Xyla earlier and forgot about them." "Yeah, you should be able to now. I'll take you guys there," Stanley offered.

Sharon nodded and then turned to look at Betty Starmount. "You should stay here with Xyla. If everyone goes, nobody will be here to look after her." én.swnovels.net

"Thanks for asking, but I'm fine, honestly," she replied.

"Okay, that's good. Do you know why you had a premature delivery?" Betty asked.

Xyla shook her head. "I have no idea."

She was feeling weak and didn't want to talk too much. Besides, she didn't want to show her true feelings to just anyone.

"I heard that it's still uncertain whether your children will survive. Is that so?"

"Yeah, that's up to fate. But, I think they should be fine," Xyla declared.
